[QUOTE="Prestidigitalis, post: 5151327, member: 74496"] Preface: This is not spam -- please check who I am before you scream. Many ENWorld threads turn out to be requests for simple information that has already been provided on numerous previous occasions. It occurred to me recently that a technology I use several times a day could be added to ENWorld to help organize this information. It is called [URL="http://stackoverflow.com/"]Stack Overflow[/URL], and it is an indispensable tool in my work as a self-employed, professional software developer. SO is implemented using a base technology called [URL="http://meta.stackexchange.com/"]StackExchange[/URL], which has just been made available to anyone, for free, as a way to easily implement a question-and-answer forum. A list of sites that have been created with SE is here: [URL="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4/"]List of StackExchange sites - StackExchange[/URL] Wikipedia has an article on SO and SE at: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Overflow"]Stack Overflow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] Morrus probably gets about a million emails a day and I don't see a need to add to his woes, so I figured I should just post this here to open the idea up for discussion. My apologies if someone else has already posted on this topic. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
